Abstract

This research article is intended to explore the extent to which English language has influenced the culture of the Sub-continent The assumption that any lexical item is a product of collaborative forces like economic scenario ethical framework political configuration psychological makeup and religious approach of any culture inculcates the proposition that lexicon-adoption is not a purely linguistic phenomenon Appropriation of the cultural background of the Carrier word by the Receiving culture is also the consequence of this lexicon-adoption The assertion of this premise is established by data collection through a self- administered questionnaire with a sample size of 200 people The result amplifies the validity of the idea that language arrogation can never be seen in isolation from its cultural implications
